Adressing? Do you want to dress Ranger Earthpig? Do you want to see Ranger Earthpig in a dress? I don't know "adressing". Why don't you knock out another 25. We'll fix that whole attention to detail thing yet. Where's my dictionary? Adressing...

Did you take an oath to enlist as an option40 today? Push out 25 as you were told.

Obviously, you did not follow my instructions. What date did you take your oath; what is your report date and when are you going to show us a self-administered PT test?

Ranger Jim, I took my oath on June 19th and report for basic on October 14th. I self administered a PT test earlier today.

Push-ups- 73
Sit-ups-80
2 mile- 12:20
Pull ups-6

These scores need to be improved and I am working in it every chance I get.

Your run isn't bad. PU/SU could use some higher numbers. Pullups are weak and need improvement. Back in my day we had to do 6 PULLUPS MINIMUM TO PASS. Shoot for 15-20.

Don't get hurt preparing. You need to take it slowly, and with OSUT....you really have all kinds of time to get your scores up. 90% of making it is mental, and you either have that part or you don't. Many great PT studs have quit. Just get in a good workout routine, and stick with it. Make sure you eat right, etc.

Find yourself a Mentor, and follow their directions. Having a brother in Rgt. is a huge plus. He can fill you in on the do's and don'ts.

He has already given me a simple workout to follow and later on he will give me a harder one. Thanks for the advice Ranger Earthpig.
